Is 10.99% interest too high for a car loan?
"I currently have a credit score of 650 and I make about $5,500 a month. I want to buy a car for $20,000 for 60 months. Every lender I've applied to has given me a double-digit interest rate, and 10.99% is the best I could find. Is this interest rate too high?"
